I stopped renewing some of my certs because it felt like I was spending my entire life studying for damn certification tests or doing training, but I still have my CISSP and just renewed my CCNP as my two highest-level certs.

A lot of people have the CISSP and a lot of people have the CCNP. Very, very few have both together as each one of them is really frickin’ hard. I’m pretty proud of that.

Both are lovingly dedicated to my father who said I’d never achieve anything.
